Apple has shown an interest in fashion from an early age, making her first appearance on the fashion scene at 18 during Paris Fashion Week in 2023, when she sported a black-and-white dress-and-blazer ensemble from Chanel.
Fashion journalistDerek Blasbergonce said that late Chanel designerKarl Lagerfeldpredicted Apple would be a “Chanel girl” when she was just 4.
However, the college student doesn’t consider herself “super trendy.”
“I love sweaters and oversized cardigans, loafers, and a good pair of comfy Levis,” Apple toldVoguein 2023. “The most important thing for me is feeling like my genuine self when wearing an outfit; I’m aiming for a mix of classic ’90s and cool grandpa.”
When reflecting on her outfit at Paris Fashion Week that year, she said, “My favorite part of the look was the combination of the loafers and the minidress. It’s something that felt very true to my own style.”

“It’s so fun to have a daughter that age, especially because she’s into clothes and skin and all that kind of stuff,” Gwyneth said of her daughter during a 2023 interview withBustle. “She’s more girly than I am. She’s really good at doing makeup and loves to do it.”
“She’s such an eminently nice person, and her values are in the right place,” theShakespeare in Loveactress said.
